Future Races for FFXIV

[SessionZero]

Garleans can't be a playable race because they can't use magic.

Garleans can't be a playable race because they can't use magic.

Or rather, "all but a few" can't. Which equals "some can". Which means they would be a special snowflake if they were playable. And surely, being a special snowflake is completely unheard of as Warrior of Light.

They make it pretty clear that the reason Garleans developed magitek technology is because pure-blooded Garleans cannot manipulate or feel aether. Unless the lore book contradicts it somewhere that I missed on my first read-through.

That's why is put the "all but a few" in quotation marks :P That's from the lore book. The full sentence reads:"Garleans have little inborn ability to manipulate their body's aether, however, and thus the arcane arts have ever eluded all but a few."

They eased up on the "absolute no-go, nada, never" in the book. Apparently, "a few" can use the arcane arts. Probably not enough to sustain an army however.

Seems these contradictions are popping up with increasing regularity. Thank you for pointing it out.

For some reason I feel that dwarves would fit into the Ala Mhigo Aesthetic based on the trailer.

Perhaps give them some stupid little name like Hummingways, and give them some bunny features to quiet up the viera community.

[Balipu]

Garleans would maybe work as a third hyur tribe but even that is unlikely with all but two pureblooded Garleans are antagonists and they only come with one skin colour and various bright shades of blonde. They would have more customization options than a toberry, but not by much.

i'm still in favor of Hummingways being playable. Or a plant race. Or an aquatic race. Or an aquatic plant race.

Vrei sa pleci dar Nu Mou Nu Mou iei,

Chipul tau si dragostea din tea,

Looks like they're getting a head start on that Necromancer class with this blast from the past.

Myself personal would love a Werewolf race as playable then the simple ones we off for daily hunts.

If not a hybrid race be good like Hilda from HW the Elezen/Hyur mix. Could mix a few other sure a lot of the Rpers who do the couple thing would love to have mix races
